Default Diesel fumes on startup

Hi, I have an XF 2012 and every time I start up from cold I smell diesel fumes inside the car for a minute or two. It then clears and doesn't reappear.
Any ideas? I've heard it could be a Webasto heater issue but I don't think that my 2.0D has one.

Leaking injector copper seal washers are most common cause for this.
